"Patrick wanted to interpret this very pompous stuck-up character and try to bring out the humor of what an exaggeration his character would be,"de Obeso said. "His level of outrageousness when he tries to show he has an impressive range will just keep on one-upping himself."

The agency behind the ad, New York-based Droga5, has similarly spoofed its celebrity spokespeople — and the commercials themselves — in campaigns for Newcastle (with Aubrey Plaza) and Scion (with James Franco), among others.

Strongbow claims to be the number-one-selling hard cider brand worldwide, but it still hasn't enjoyed the popularity it would like to in America, according to de Obeso.

The campaign is meant to differentiate Strongbow's flavor variety from its competitors and boost name recognition among a young, American audience.
